A distinctive hospitality opportunity awaits in the heart of Ludington at Summer's Inn, a charming boutique property combining the nostalgic character of a mid-century motel with an inviting guest experience and beautifully landscaped surroundings. Designed around a quiet, relaxed atmosphere, the property offers a variety of thoughtfully appointed accommodations surrounding a serene courtyard garden. Twenty Nine rooms (with expansion potential) are perfectly positioned to enjoy all that Ludington has to offer! Select accommodations feature walk-in tiled showers, mini refrigerators, coffee makers, comfortable sitting areas, and convenient in-room amenities. Perhaps the most appealing feature for guests is the unique experiences the courtyard of the property offers including a peaceful koi pond, lush greenery, and peaceful connection to nature. The location is equally appealing, placing guests within walking distance of Downtown Ludington's shops, galleries, restaurants, and entertainment, approximately one mile from the Lake Michigan Carferry and just six miles from the spectacular dunes and beaches of Ludington State Park. Adding to the property's boutique experience is a complimentary, table-served breakfast featuring locally inspired selections. Guests can enjoy locally roasted Aldea Coffee alongside offerings such as specialty quiche with fresh fruit, yogurt and fruit bowls, Michigan-made granola, local honey, toast, and jam. Breakfast is traditionally offered daily during the summer season and on weekends outside of peak season, subject to the property's operating schedule. Just off the lobby is the commercial kitchen which has been granted a liquor license. Additional amenities include complimentary WiFi in all guest rooms, free on-site self-parking, a library, garden, picnic area, and terrace, with WiFi and wired internet available in select public areas. From its peaceful courtyard and diverse accommodations to its proximity to downtown, Lake Michigan, and Ludington State Park, Summer's Inn offers a compelling opportunity to continue an established boutique hospitality experience in one of West Michigan's most popular lakeshore destinations.
